I still won though. :P

No, I have not stopped building, I just don't feel like posting bots if no one is going to comment.

Anyway, I've made a modification to Hellish Uproar, because I wasn't completely satisfied with the old one.

5mm titanium, Normal NPCs, and those are 4-Mags. Uses less weight on stabilizers unfortunately, but has more weaponry and armor for the motors. Much more destructive.

Hoping to send it to Naryar, but I haven't heard much on the status of v2.3; I might be too late.

Made some smaller-scale versions of Civil Offense:

The LW has 3mm plastic while the MW has 5mm. Everything else is visible.

The LW is somewhat like Star Dust, but slight instability and lack of front armor are its downfall; I just wanted to build a LW VS with 2 30kg sledgehammers.

The MW is much better. It was essentially supposed to be an Erectus-clone, but at the same time a suggestion on how to improve the design.

A failed LW juggler design, 3mm plastic. As expected it suffers from W.I.S. (wedge inefficiency syndrome), and slightly Havoks when turning. Also has trouble picking up other bots at times.

I wanted to make a fully invertible LW HS. It's decent, and nothing more. 1mm titanium.

What happens when I don't vent my anger in a positive way:

Wow those are sweet.

Naryar · « **Reply #463 on:** April 24, 2010, 04:22:05 PM »

I quite like the LW HS.

And WAT ?? Cataclysm's chassis ???

Anyways, send away. I have no idea when v2.3 will be released so not, it's not too late.

I pretty much stripped down Cataclysm's chassis until only the batteries, CB, and a few MEs were left, and I built from there.

It's good to know I can still send the new HU, I just hope you haven't given up on v2.3.

You know, i realized this :P

And for v2.3 it's not that i gave up, it's just that it is advancing really slowly. It will probably be released 20th May or something like that.

I really like the motor armor on Hellish Uproar. How does the crawler even move, with lopsided weapon placement like that?

Pwnator · « **Reply #467 on:** April 24, 2010, 10:21:49 PM »

Good job on the LW VS. Mine's somewhat more unstable. XD

Crawler looks good. Can benefit from top and bottom armor if you can fit them in. After all, the only 2 things crawlers really have to worry about are OOTA and direct chassis hits.

The Ounce · « **Reply #469 on:** April 25, 2010, 01:36:42 PM »

Condor33 what do you mean by lopsided? Anyway I've made a better version of the crawler:

Basically gave it a wider stance so it's more stable, and it seems to do more damage. I would put more armor on this if I could, but I don't think it needs it that much: HNM 4 couldn't lay a scratch on it.

and this:

5mm titanium, NPC fasts, 10 heavy DS teeth and medium beater bars, 4 razors and large beater bars, 2 TWM3Rs and a Perm 80.

Surprisingly doesn't have bad wedges, but still not the best. It's more of a grinder than a gutripper really.

DSL Core Drill is win.

Hey FOTEPX, can you stop quoting the whole post please? Thanks.

Pwnator · « **Reply #473 on:** April 25, 2010, 08:57:26 PM »

I liek the FS.

However, I bumped into a slight problem when I built the first Core Drill prototype (which had 3 FSes), and that was having the weapon motors too close together. I could barely scratch the opponent's components. Maybe widening the two FSes would do the job. :D

Naryar · « **Reply #474 on:** April 26, 2010, 03:04:19 AM »

For that FS, it should be more invertible but still <3

Is that for me ??

QFT.

I meant that the 60KG hammers and the Killalot drills aren't the same length, so the crawler would bounce around a lot more.

Can i get the FS for v2.3's ICM please ? It looks awesome <3

123savethewhales · « **Reply #477 on:** April 30, 2010, 04:47:30 PM »

Try light beater bar + DS light in replacement of heavy beater.

The Ounce · « **Reply #478 on:** May 05, 2010, 04:55:31 PM »

Found this in my old copy of DSL:

It was a cross between Stiletto and my LW rammer, and the predecessor to Rapier. Seeing it reminds me of when DSL 2.1 was still DSL 2.1.

and the final version (hopefully) of my ICM rebuild:

12 beater bars (4 small, 8 medium), 12 razor tips, and 12 light DS teeth, and different armor setup. Everything else is unchanged.

The wedges and weapons are better now, but the bottom weapon motors are still too high to pick up opponents

.

Try turning those beaters 30 or 40 degrees outward if you want additional pick up power.
